for a 5th round pick.
A new QB in Carolina: The #Panthers are acquiring former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield from the #Browns for a 2024 conditional 5th-round draft pick, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. Deal is pending a physical. All parties split the financials to make it happen.
And yes he’s a cuckold. I know because when I talk giants at a bar with random cuckolds they have the same attitude. They care more about rooting for a classy athlete than they care about winning. It’s wins and losses come second. Mara is the same way. At least I hope for his sake if not this guy needs to go into another business.
Debaser -- this is straying into troll territory. If you keep it up we will suspend you. You are using a highly charged vulgar word improperly and riling posters up with it.
I am calling him one because he implements taunts rule changes on the committee he sits on because his country club sensitivities are offended. And further by subjecting us and jones longer than has been sensible to do so without any competition.
If you have a better word for that go ahead and say it.

Mayfield isn’t terrible but you’re just being silly for the sake of argument. Must be bored again. Not many people were calling Mayfield terrible after 2020. But he hasn’t followed up with that and regressed considerably while playing with a damned good supporting cast. People have soured on him. But people were talking him up after 2020 and many felt he was on his way to being pretty damned good. If Jones has a similar season, people will have hopes he’s finally figured it out with pieces around him and a coaching staff that hopefully knows what the hell they are doing. But if he does a Mayfield and follows up the good season with another bad one, yes people will come to the conclusion he’s just not any good.
I’m not sure why you’re trying to insinuate that fans are giving Jones a pass while criticizing Mayfield. And make no mistake, that’s exactly what you’re trying to invent here.
You have to throw out 2021 when judging Baker. He played through severe injuries. That's not to say he's great. He clearly isn't great. But he's been much better than Darnold so far. Much better. Carolina and Ruhle finally have a solid if unspectacular QB.
Should we throw out the last two years of Daniel Jones because he has injuries everywhere around him and an awful OC who could not catch on anywhere after he was fired? Even before his injury Mayfield was being heavily supported by the running game. They had 1 win against a playoff team with Mayfield as QB (against Cincy where he threw all of 21 times for 218 yards). Against the easiest part of their schedule (HOU, CHI, MIN) he had 2 TD and 1 INT. They ended up scoring 71 points over that timeframe because of running game and defense. The talent was there around him but he regressed badly and then blamed everyone else. Being better than Darnold is not an accomplishment. Daniel Jones was better (barely) than Darnold in their head to head matchup last year. I am no fan of Daniel Jones and would have offered him to Cleveland in a deal for Mayfield (because Brissett may be the worst starting QB), but need to call a spade a spade.
No. Daniel Jones was plenty healthy when he played poorly. I'm not sure why you're bringing Jones into this tbh. Mayfield played pretty well when healthy.
No he didn’t. He had one career year out of 4 when his running game and D were at their best and you want to make excuses for everything else. Mitch Trubisky had production yet teams weren’t lining up for him. Mayfield is not a good QB, an improvement over Jones or Darnold but that is not saying much.
I'm referring to Jones' physical health. Yes, he battled late season injuries but we have enough of Jones playing healthy to start to make an assessment. As to Mayfield, I think we agree on his relative quality. He's probably a top 15 QB. Nothing more. But that's a big improvement over what Carolina was working with. And Ruhle has to get results starting now, it seems. I wouldn't be thrilled if Mayfield was the Giants starting QB. I want better, as it seems, so do you.
I would not even say that Mayfield is a Top 15 QB
In no particular order I would not list him above
(1) Lamar Jackson
(2) Josh Allen
(3) Joe Burrow
(4) Russell Wilson
(5) Patrick Mahomes
(6) Derek Carr
(7) Justin Herbert
(8) Ryan Tannehill
(9) Kyler Murray
(10) Dak Prescott
(11) Aaron Rodgers
(12) Matt Stafford
(13) Tom Brady
(14) Tua Tagovailoa
(15) Mac Jones
(16) Trevor Lawrence
(17) Matt Ryan
(18) Kirk Cousins
Even after those 18 he is probably in same tier as Hurts, Wentz, Goff, whomever starts in SF.
That list also does not include Watson since he will be suspended this year. Had he played he would have been on the Top 19 list.
What a weird thing to stress over. Mara may be an ineffective owner now - but if you don’t think he cares about the team and organization - you couldn’t be more wrong.
Again - he won 2 Super Bowls.

I'm reading what you're writing, and I'm responding by telling you that you're using the wrong word(s) to say what you want to say. I'm also telling you that your stubborn refusal to change your terminology when presented with that fact makes you look like a clown.
You're also attributing motives to John Mara without any foundation. "Country club sensitivities?" What does that even mean? You would have been better off using "Catholic sensitivities," but even then you would have been on thin ice. Not all Catholics are the same, just as not all country club members are the same. Regardless, your prejudice is showing. Call it "reverse snobbery," with a not-so-subtle hint of jealousy.
Had you read - and understood - what I wrote earlier, you would have seen that questioning his football acumen is fair game. Questioning his management skill would be, too. But neither makes him a wimp or a cuckold. Nor does stubbornness, misplaced loyalty, or a refusal to accept any blame for his poor decision-making.
You see, I can criticize him, too, without resorting to clownish behavior in the process.
What a weird thing to stress over. Mara may be an ineffective owner now - but if you don’t think he cares about the team and organization - you couldn’t be more wrong.

Mike Tomlin is on record applauding the taunting rule. He agrees with it 100%. But yeah, it’s all Maras fault!!!
To put it in context:
Everytime Mike Glennon has sex, Debaser has been cuckolded

Love how overrated Tua and Mac Jones are, and underrated Wentz, Jimmy G, Lance, even Goff are to an extent.
Trevor Lawrence being top 18 is mostly college hype, so far.

I said it was in no particular order. I took a list of projected starting QB's and took the ones I would rank above Mayfield. Then I went through the list a second time to see if I missed anyone.
Mac Jones has as many playoff appearances as Baker Mayfield does. Jimmy G. knows how to win games, but he is also prone to having at least one "wtf" play in the process. When the D and ST can bail him out that is fine, but I think he would not look the same without that supporting cast. Lance has never been in a system where he had to throw 30+ times on a consistent basis. Can he do that if a game gets into a slugfest? Nobody knows Wentz better than Frank Reich and he was done with him after 1 year for good reason. If you look at the numbers you would wonder why he wasn't higher, but when you see the play in big games it is bad. Goff is not the same QB without McVay calling the plays. He looked better as the season went on in Detroit, but until he shows more I can't rate him higher than I do.

Logic like this goes over everyone's head.
I think the counter from the "Jones-is-the-unluckiest-player-in-NFL-history" crowd would be that Jones had a pretty good rookie season. So, that would be two out of four pretty good seasons...if you drink that Kool-Aid.
Calling Debaser “stupid “is an instance.
Without making a fetish out of stats Lawrence looks good on film, very textbook. You would think he eventually straightens things out. Then again I still don't like Josh Allen's mechanics so...
He's not wrong. It was a beyond stupid pick.

Jones never had a coach as woeful as Urban Meyer.
Yes, even Judge at his worst last year was still better.
